The Scramble: Hacks, Lawsuits, and "Sacred Journeys"

Wikimedia user Jelson25
Leaked emails from executives at Sony are giving an inside look at the industry.

Hollywood sometimes has an image problem and recently leaked emails from Sony executives are not helping that image. Responses from some of those executives, including filmmaker Aaron Sorkin, may actually be making it even worse. 

Our Monday news update The Scramble takes a look at Hollywood, warts and all. We also remember the Newtown school shooting anniversary, and a newly-announced lawsuit by some victims' families against the gun manufacturer Bushmaster.

Meanwhile, every year millions of people make pilgrimages to sacred sites around the world. Journalist Bruce Feiler made six of those journeys for his new PBS miniseries "Sacred Journeys with Bruce Feiler." It premieres on Tuesday, December 16 at 9:00 pm on CPTV, and we preview it with Feiler.

GUESTS:

  • Bruce Feiler - Columnist for The New York Times and host of the PBS miniseries "Sacred Journeys with Bruce Feiler"
  • Emily Yoshida - Entertainment editor for The Verge
  • Monte Frank - Attorney from Newtown, leader of Team 26, and on the board of Sandy Hook Promise
